On semi-Riemannian manifolds satisfying some conformally invariant curvature condition

Ryszard Deszcz, Małgorzata Głogowska, Hideko Hashiguchi, Marian Hotloś, Makoto Yawata (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate semi-Riemannian manifolds with pseudosymmetric Weyl curvature tensor satisfying some additional condition imposed on their curvature tensor. Among other things we prove that the so-called Roter type equation holds on such manifolds. We present applications of our results to hypersurfaces in semi-Riemannian space forms, as well as to 4-dimensional warped products.

On some algebraic identities and the exterior product of double forms

Mohammed Larbi Labbi (2013)

Archivum Mathematicum

We use the exterior product of double forms to free from coordinates celebrated classical results of linear algebra about matrices and bilinear forms namely Cayley-Hamilton theorem, Laplace expansion of the determinant, Newton identities and Jacobi’s formula for the determinant. This coordinate free formalism is then used to easily generalize the previous results to higher multilinear forms namely to double forms. In particular, we show that the Cayley-Hamilton theorem once applied to the second...

On some class of hypersurfaces with three distinct principal curvatures

Katarzyna Sawicz (2005)

Banach Center Publications

We investigate hypersurfaces M in spaces of constant curvature with some special minimal polynomial of the second fundamental tensor H of third degree. We present a curvature characterization of pseudosymmetry type for such hypersurfaces. We also prove that if such a hypersurface is a manifold with pseudosymmetric Weyl tensor then it must be pseudosymmetric.

On some flat connection associated with locally symmetric surface

Maria Robaszewska (2014)

Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia Mathematica

For every two-dimensional manifold M with locally symmetric linear connection ∇, endowed also with ∇-parallel volume element, we construct a flat connection on some principal fibre bundle P(M,G). Associated with - satisfying some particular conditions - local basis of TM local connection form of such a connection is an R(G)-valued 1-form build from the dual basis ω1, ω2 and from the local connection form ω of ▽. The structural equations of (M,∇) are equivalent to the condition dΩ-Ω∧Ω=0. This work...

On some generalized Einstein metric conditions on hypersurfaces in semi-Riemannian space forms

Ryszard Deszcz, Małgorzata Głogowska, Marian Hotloś, Leopold Verstraelen (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Solutions of the P. J. Ryan problem as well as investigations of curvature properties of Cartan hypersurfaces and Ricci-pseudosymmetric hypersurfaces lead to curvature identities holding on every hypersurface M isometrically immersed in a semi-Riemannian space form. These identities, under some assumptions, give rises to new generalized Einstein metric conditions on M. We investigate hypersurfaces satisfying such curvature conditions.

On some properties of induced almost contact structures

Zuzanna Szancer (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Real affine hypersurfaces of the complex space n + 1 with a J-tangent transversal vector field and an induced almost contact structure (φ,ξ,η) are studied. Some properties of the induced almost contact structures are proved. In particular, we prove some properties of the induced structure when the distribution is involutive. Some constraints on a shape operator when the induced almost contact structure is either normal or ξ-invariant are also given.
